Surf Park Culture # 1 - Not Me!

For those of you lucky enough to have visited Surf Park you may have been exposed to the unique culture that exists between its residents and regular visitors. In a new column to SPAdventures SP Culture will expose and explain this culture to those foreign and give further insight to those who are often bemused by the strange habits when visiting. This week we will start with one of the most basic and quite possibly one of the first rules that existed in Surf Park history when SP formed many, many months ago. It is known as the "Not Me" call. Upon entering SP, the first experience many visitors encounter is a quick and sharp chorus of voices often followed by a long wait for the door to be answered. This phenomenon you are experiencing is the battle of “not me!” in the quest of avoiding having to answer the door.
